    Abstract: Various communication systems may benefit from taking appropriate measurements. For example, certain wireless communication systems may benefit from optimized user equipment measurements for fast cell access. A method can include receiving, at a user equipment, a configuration from a network to which the user equipment is connected. The configuration may include instructions to the user equipment regarding measurements with respect to detected cells. The method may also include performing the measurements according to the received configuration, and reporting the measurements to the network.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for faster radio frequency (RF) activation are provided. One method may include transmitting by a network node, or receiving by a user equipment, a connection release message for the user equipment, wherein the connection release message comprises an indication for the user equipment to start measuring secondary cells after connection release. The method may then include during or immediately after connection setup or connection resume, receiving by the network node or transmitting by the user equipment, an indication of availability of measurements of the secondary cells.

    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided herein to enable a current release timer value to be transferred to a target access point (e.g. target cell) in an instance in which a mobile terminal is performing a handover or has recently attached to a target access point. In some example embodiments, a method is provided that comprises determining that a handover condition exists for a mobile terminal. The method of this embodiment may also include determining a release timer value for the mobile terminal. The method of this embodiment may also include causing the release timer value to be transmitted to a target access point. In some example embodiments, the release timer value is configured to trigger a release timer in the target access point.
